			<h1>HLOOKUP Function</h1>
			<p>The <b>HLOOKUP</b> function is one of the <a href="../UsageInstructions/InsertFunction.htm#lookupreference" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">lookup and reference functions</a>. It is used to perform the horizontal search for a value in the top row of a table or an array and return the value in the same column based on a specified row index number.</p>
			<h3>Syntax</h3> 
			<p><b><em>HLOOKUP (lookup_value, table_array, row_index_num, [range_lookup])</em></b></p> 
			<p>The <b>HLOOKUP</b> function has the following arguments:</p> 
			<table style="width: 40%">
                <tr>
                    <th style="background-color: #f4f4f4" width="150ch"><b>Argument</b></th>
                    <th style="background-color: #f4f4f4"><b>Description</b></th>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td><b><em>lookup_value</em></b></td>
                    <td>A value to search for.</td>
                </tr>
				<tr>
                    <td><b><em>table_array</em></b></td>
                    <td>Two or more rows containing data sorted in ascending order.</td>
                </tr>
				<tr>
                    <td><b><em>row_index_num</em></b></td>
                    <td>A row number in the same column of the <b><em>table_array</em></b>, a numeric value greater than or equal to 1 but less than the number of rows in the <b>table_array</b>.</td>
                </tr>
				<tr>
                    <td><b><em>range_lookup</em></b></td>
                    <td>An optional argument. It is a logical value: TRUE or FALSE. Enter FALSE to find an exact match. Enter TRUE to find an approximate match, in this case if there is not a value that strictly matches the <b><em>lookup_value</em></b>, then the function will choose the next largest value less than the <b><em>lookup_value</em></b>. If this argument is absent, the function will find an approximate match.</td>
                </tr>
            </table>
			
			<h3>Notes</h3>
            <p>If the <b><em>range_lookup</em></b> is set to FALSE, but no exact match is found, then the function will return the <b>#N/A</b> error.</p>
